Terrain Sensing and Mapping for Exoskeleton Design
Project Description
Preliminary development of an environment recognition system conducive to support the exoskeleton's automated locomotion. Suitable terrain sensing and recognition is needed to identify planes, steps or slopes, etc. Effective identification instructs the locomotion mode and transition the exoskeleton should fulfill.
